That's why corporations need us to have/use AI companions. I still don't see a point in me having it. Let me decide if I want it.
I work in IT as support desk. I dread it when I hear the user say I used chatgpt or open AI. Hell, the company I work for tries everything to block that shit because of how bad it is.
Also work IT. It annoys me to no end when an end user goes "Well I consulted with ChatGPT and it said that what I'm suggesting can be done. Can you just make the changes?"
Nevermind the fact that the changes are either 1.) Doesn't work on the current hardware, requires massive buy-in and downtime to replace equipment or 2.) Is painfully insecure and the user just wants it done because it makes it convenient for them.
My favorite is to always bring up the age old triangle of "Security" "Cost" and "Convenience". Pick 2. The third is what will suffer. Low cost and Convenient? Then it sure as hell ain't secure. Remember, the S in IoT stands for Security.
I often wonder about that. Trying to do this or that or whatever, on my phone or Windows or Word, I google and the directions don't work for the current version, because Apple and Microsoft like to take the same functions and hide them or shuffle them around, change the wording of the menus, etc.
How well can AI tell from reading 20 years of help posts and manuals what the correct answer is for the most current version of any particular software? The older version probably has a lot more posts about the old process of doing the same thing, if it's gauging "correct" by number of posts that agree.
I mean if you are using an actual coding tool for AI and not online chatgpt: It knows because it has access to your (likely already large) codebase, and either it can search for other usages of the same function in your codebase, or you have already directed it to a file to use as an example.
Online gpt will never be able to give reliable answers for your codebase.
